Sun, 29 Jun 2014 01:21:00 +0000/?p=59216#comment-397221Walmart practices cruel economics not concerned about workers right to property. Workers’ labor is their property and they have a right to protect it. Pope Leo in the late 1880s wrote about this in his economic encyclical Rerum Novarum. In this encylical, Pope Leo defines the right to property. A business owner has a right to make to make or grow something and to make a reasonable markup so that they can enjoy a decent life. However, the same applies to those he uses in his business to enjoy a profit. An owner needs to make sure all those working for him, make enough money to enjoy a decent life too. Free trade came and companies like Walmart tossed all this to the winds for the sake of making money on impoverished workers across the globe.

My artwork, The Sacrilege, Walmart built in the graveyard of the steel industry, is based on Walmart building a store in a location where once thousands of steel workers made a middle class living. The steel industry was doing fine until the investment communities took over. Unfortunately, they knew nothing about making steel and their focus was just about making money on their investments. This is the problem of free trade because the investments are divorced from production. The act independently of production so that they can do anything they want to create money without being bothered by the right to property of workers which is their labor.

Rerum Novarum also held that workers have the right to organize as one especially when something like this happens.

Free trade remains the major cause of our economic crisis. Our consumption economic processes are running out of consumers who have enough money to support the process. There are more than a billion people in the world who are willing to work for practically nothing to survive. So the supply of impoverished workers is endless. In the more prosperous nations, a working poor class has replaced the production working middle class. The working poor classes are finding it more and more difficult to afford even the cheaper imports. Walmart cut out the very element they need to survive themselves – enough consumers with enough money.

Now after President Obama bailed out big money interests, the investment communities, Wall Street, banks and the “too big to fail’ corporations, we all are now living off a system that is based on mortgaging the future and in essence taking tariff off products and putting them on future generations of workers. It is a no win situation in this new corporate welfare world. I have yet to hear any Conservative complained about taking our their part of the bail out.

See http://tapsearch.com/flatworldhttp://tapsearch.com/tapartnews and http://tapsearch.com/clinton and if you search under this art title Double Talk Clinton Years American Dream Reversed, you will find millions of references and resources. Since the late 1980s and during the 1990s, millions of workers lost their jobs. More than a million workers in the computer industry lost their jobs with thousands of computer businesses and hundreds of major computer manufacturers closing down. What took thirty to forty years to develop quickly vanished as President Clinton gave away our high technology to the Chinese.

This is what it is all about and people like Mike Rowe should know it by now. It was a Dirty Job performed by the past four globalist free trader presidents.

So I really have no beef with the place lol. And yes, anything that is non-union is like Satan to a liberal. Freedom to disagree with how they feel does not exist in their minds.

Sat, 01 Mar 2014 15:34:00 +0000/?p=59216#comment-348987Mike Rowe and Walmart. Whodda thunk it? Let’s see, Mike wants to put more people to work earning their way, and Walmart employs people enabling them to do just that. No wonder the left is targeting both for vitriol and demonization. The left’s policies and programs don’t seem to be able to accomplish much of anything(including the ocare forcing more folks out of work), so, in steps Mike and Walmart. Bang! The left start the campaign to decry anything and everything the pairing of these two are promoting. Must be skeered of what the results will be if they accomplish what they start out to do. The left(including the unions) will probably do all they can to squelch the efforts. Regulations from all the alphabet soup agencies will try, guaranteed.
Kudos to Mike and Walmart for common sense solutions to the employment problem.

I think all true Americans should look up the interviews done with the CEO at OKhorizons. (Oklahoma public television) Watching those interviews I was pleasantly surprised and had to agree with the man.

Sat, 01 Mar 2014 02:15:00 +0000/?p=59216#comment-348751I’d be willing to bet that Mike is pretty conservative. He just keeps it to himself which in today’s political climate is understandable. This is one of many reasons there are very few truly GOOD people in politics. The political machine will personally destroy anyone who is a threat to their power.
No Mike is smart to stay out of the political rhealm. He’s a good man with a good agenda (which is totally apolitical) and a GREAT foundation.

Sat, 01 Mar 2014 01:11:00 +0000/?p=59216#comment-348720What I think (and hope) Mike understands is that no matter what he does, short of total surrender, the Leftists who are persecuting him will never quit.

It comes down to a simple paradox: Mike is trying to save the country, one job at a time. The bitter Left is trying to destroy the country, as many lives as possible.
